Cam States:
'h" In the discharge of the duty imposed
if by the United States Senate on the com-
mittpo nn ncrrinnltnrft rn investigate the
, o o
'.- causes of the low price of cotton and a
remedy, I have made some investigations
which though as yet incomplete, author-
PeBIA Tn a tn flfnfA th& fnllnwinrr ennelnsinns:
iti " -...-.. -
k There are causes tor this low price com
ing from legislation now in force, and
there are other causes coming from need
"f." ful legislation yet to be enacted. It is
' v certain, however, that those causes can't
be remedied in time to affect the price
i of the crop now about to be planted, even
indeed, if their force can ever be entirely
ft jj&troyed. The cotton farmer must,
therefore for the present, resort to such
-omedies or palliatives for low prices as
S'iome from their own action, inde-
Vl rti.nt of legislation. The crop of
con2 and 1893 has brought higher prices
the tact that it was much smaller,
the cotton raisers of the outh are con
fronted with this serious question for so
lution: "Shall we, by increased acreage
in the crop now being planted, as com
pared to tho acreage of the lust season,
raise a crop of nine or ten millions bales
and thereby glut the markets of the
world, causing a fall to the low priees of
1891 and ISSIli, and perhaps even lower;
or 'Till we, by reducing the acreage to the
extent necessary to raise all our food
and forage crops and work animals, es
pecially our meat, corn, horses and mules
increase the price of our cotton crop, unci
at the same time diminish the uses o(
the proceeds of the of the crop Ity a larger
reduction iu the amount heretofore
applied to buying neeessary supplies?
There can be hut one answer to this
question in the minds nf thoughtful men.
If it be said that among so numerous a
class as cotton raisers, it will ho impossi
ble to get up an agreement, which will
result in combined action to plant a re
duced acreage in cotton, and if this be
conceded, then the situation appeals with
still stronger force to each individual far
mer to decrease his own crop to the ex
tent needful to raise his supplies, for, in
case there shall uot be such a deminution
in the acreage as to affect materially the
price, so that the next crop is to be low
priced one, the advantajie to him who has
wisely raised his own supplies will be
clear and manifest. He will not have to
buy high priced supplies with the scant
proceeds of low priced cotton. These
proceeds will then be in the main surplus
or nearly so. On the other hand, if there
shall be such a general movement in the di
rection of raising a smaller crop as to
raise the price, then all who cju tribute
to it, in the manner herein indicated, will
enjoy this increased price as the result of
their own wise action, and at th ; same
time be exempt from expenditure for
supplies which they have so raised. After
much reflection on the data collected
from all countries adapted to raising cot
ton, I am satisfied of this painful truth
That we are never, at least in this genera
tion, to have geuerally the high prices
tor cotton we once had. Cotton will nev
er, but in exceptional cases, and for short
periods be high enough to warrant the
producer to rely upon it as a means of
purchasing supplies which can be raised
at home.
Very respectfully,
J Z George.

V'The natural rise in price of the crop

I tiratives in the cotton factories of Eog

Ueratives, working twenty-one million

' this strike up to this date has been to
ietftse the amount consumed by British
Jes since September first, 525,000

n unusually large stock of cotton, having
Khught heavily at the low prices prevail

doing n exceptionally" good business,
they have taken so far 350,000 bales less
than fof the same period during last sea

The prospett foir another large crop com
